I have reason to believe that we pass from life to life in some manner that is only dimly understood even by mystics who have attempted to explain the process. But I would never attempt to "convert" anyone to this notion nor do I particularly care whether you believe it or not. (So why should you care whether I do?)

In this view, we do maintain a "personal identity" of sorts, although it makes no real sense for me, in present identity, to say that "I" was so-and-so in a past life, since it was not the "I" of this life who lived that one, although I may even access odd memories of it....

"Frankly, there's nothing worse (aside from death, global famine, nuclear disaster and all-round armageddon) than seeing players in the UFO field fawning all over their peers at conferences as they seek acceptance into the ufological sand-pit by saying the 'right thing' to the 'right people.' Thankfully, there's none of that in Mac's world."
